What is Enrichment?
Dogs will do dog things!
All dogs, regardless of age, breed, and size have the need to engage in natural behaviors. For example, sniffing, digging, chewing, shredding, and chasing to name a few of these behaviors.
Dogs living in our modern, human world don't always have the opportunities to participate in these activities. So when they get bored and aren't provided any outlets, they come up with their own fun! This could mean chewing on your sneakers or digging holes in your backyard!
Enrichment provides dogs with safe and healthy ways to engage in these natural behaviors. Dogs who live enriched lives experience less stress, don't often get bored, and are less likely to develop unwanted behaviors or be destructive.
